I'M TRYING! I'M TRYING!

I'm trying.

Those 2 words have to be the greatest excuses for failure that nobody talks about. Maybe nobody talks about them because we all use them. I have come to believe that those two words are masters of the 5 finger discount. There the worlds greatest boosters of promise. Forget Ocean's 11-13. Those words are the super d-duper thieve squad.

I'M TRYING...I'M TRYING

The other day I was talking to a business owner who was struggling making money. He hadn't been able to do the right networking to market his business. So we talk and I let him know that I have somebody for him to meet. He was so excited. "Damon thanks man, this is what I need, I'm ready, this is all I need." So I make the call and set up a meeting right then and there. Then, I say to him, "Let's go!" His response is he will try and meet me there! I responded, "My man, you'll try. You are out of ideas, you have no plan and your dreams are slipping away and you will try.

How many of us do that. How many off us want and need something but when a potential solution is in our face, we only try to make it happen.

I'm not trying to call anyone out or piss people off, but many of us use I'll try as a prelude to our moaning and growing. It's the starter kit to the whoa is me!

Think f it like this. If your thirsty and there is a glass of water right in front of you, will you try or will you just drink it. I don't know about you but I'm not dying of thirst when I know there is water out there.

We control our destiny. But it starts with doing. I believe that if we do what we can to the best of our ability our world, our god and our universe will do the rest. We just have to do.

Miracles happen when we move forward. I wish that opportunity just knocked on it's own. Or circumstances just miraculously changed for the better, but it doesn't happen that way. But it will happen when we do. So stop trying and start doing. If you fail, your still be better off than when you were only trying.
